“USAID commends the strong partnership between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the community-based organizations in Bangkok, including Service Worker in Group (SWING) and Rainbow Sky Association Of Thailand (RSAT) to establish a referral system for key population HIV services to BMA clinics such as PrEP and ARV initiation. These CBOs are critical in delivering Key Population-led Health Services (KPLHS) to those key populations to advance the HIV response in Bangkok and accelerate progress towards ending AIDS by 2030, as articulated in Thailand’s National AIDS Strategy.”

Bangkok is an innovative model for HIV response in Thailand and the region. With less than a decade left to end AIDS as a global health threat, the BMA and partners must expand their innovative solutions. UNAIDS proudly collaborates with the BMA and looks forward to their leadership in addressing inequality to achieve the goal by 2030.
“The faster people get tested for HIV, the faster they can get treated and live normal lives. Once you know your status, HIV is like any other chronic disease where you can take medicine every day and learn how to be healthy again.”
”U=U is the most powerful fact telling us that people living with HIV who are on treatment with suppressed viral load will NOT be able to transmit HIV to anyone, even through sex. People living with HIV must take the courage to use this knowledge to stop the fear, change the attitude, and end self-stigma. People living with HIV must not allow others to destroy their dignity and must be brave enough to live a full-quality life proudly. Ending HIV is imminent with serious actions taken in a concerted effort to address stigma and discrimination.”
“Properly treated HIV-infected individuals will not be sick or die from HIV and will not transmit HIV to others (U=U), i.e., HIV can now be transformed into a chronic non-infectious disease. If everyone understands this message well, self-stigma and external stigma and discrimination should come to an end. At the same time, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can prevent almost all new infections. Therefore, with no onward transmission (U=U) and with no new HIV acquisition (PrEP), AIDS can be ended. How fast we can end AIDS depends on how seriously we take and act on the issue. All of us are accountable for it.”
“We recognize the shared responsibility in accelerating epidemic control to end AIDS and eliminate it as a public health threat in Thailand while reducing related stigma and discrimination. We will continue to support BMA and national efforts to respond in a comprehensive manner that will increase the impact of our collective effort”
“USAID commends the strong partnership between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the community-based organizations in Bangkok, including Service Worker in Group (SWING) and Rainbow Sky Association Of Thailand (RSAT) to establish a referral system for key population HIV services to BMA clinics such as PrEP and ARV initiation. These CBOs are critical in delivering Key Population-led Health Services (KPLHS) to those key populations to advance the HIV response in Bangkok and accelerate progress towards ending AIDS by 2030, as articulated in Thailand’s National AIDS Strategy.”
“We will not end AIDS if we do the same old - think the same old! We need a paradigm shift to keep up with the HIV and AIDS epidemic.”
"To achieve our goal in ending AIDS we must embrace inclusiveness. Inclusive strategies reach beyond the general populations to those most deprived and marginalized. Among them are people who use drugs, sex workers, people of all gender orientations, and migrant populations. This must be done with understanding, participation and with the aim to benefit of those most marginalized."
"The global community needs to work together to address inequality in order to bring the world closer to ending AIDS. The marginalization of men who have sex with men, sex workers, people who inject drugs and transgender people is compounded by issues such as gender inequality, ethnicity, poverty and disability. Therefore, intersectionality needs to be better understood in order to better help them overcome prejudice, inequality, and stigma and discrimination."
“The world has inscribed history once Thailand and many other countries have killed people due to fear, anger and hate arising from ignorance and not trying to learn. Humans shouldn’t make the world to have this inscription again”
“The way of Harm reduction is the path of peace for Ending AIDS”
